Downey resident Chrstine Isham, who works in the East Middle School cafeteria, recently returned from a month-long holiday to Sydney, Australia and the north island of New Zealand. She was in Sydney for 12 days and then in New Zealand, including Auckland and around the north island, for 18 days. "It was truly a trip of a lifetime!," she says. The picture above was taken in Sydney Harbor and shows the iconic Opera House in the background. Isham has a daughter who attends Griffiths Middle School. ********** Published: September 08, 2011 - Volume 10 - Issue 21
